What makes a meal right for your reproductive system?

It is definitely not the first time that you may have seen the importance of a good diet being discussed. The reason may have been different, per say losing weight or getting a spotless skin, but the essence still remains the same irrespective of what greater goal it serves. The food we gobble down means so much to our bodies that we are a straight impression of our meals. Not only will it show on that paunch but will also lower down the chances of conceiving greatly.

According to a recent study by Harvard researchers, some food items and general habits have a profound effect on chances of conception as was seen on a group of nurses. In a famous manual book called the Fertility Diet the mantra of a good conjugal life has been discussed at lengths. Let us discuss some of the food items that could be beneficial to you in this context.

• Like any other exercise routine or diet chart, this diet plan should also be flexible, all the more so, because we are dealing with quite a nagging organ system, the female reproductive system! Fruits and green vegetables, also yellows and reds do a great wonder. Pack in all the anti-oxidants you can.

• Processed carbs like pastas and white bread may look nutritious to you but what you are actually eating has already been robbed off its goodness. Instead, if you are listing under a fertility diet choose whole grain bread or brown rice. Too much oil and frying may do the same to the nutrients.

• Reduce your intake of red meat, instead rely on plant proteins. If the idea of turning vegan bothers you, there is good news for you all. Fish, very rich in omega3 fatty acids can do wonders for your follicles. Especially, if you are already on the path of becoming a mother, it is a great source for the baby’s brain development. Not just that, rich in anti-oxidants, fish can reduce changes of MTP or premature birth.

Some micronutrients those are beneficial for increased fertility

• Vitamins like VitD makes the production of the hormones that trigger the whole reproductive system faster. Estrogen metabolism is quite regulated by it and thus helps in ovulation. Similarly, VitE and C make your sperms healthy and motile along with helping regulate menstrual cycles in women.

• Lipoic acid, found in sparse amounts in spinach and potato can do wonders for your bodies by acting as a free radical killer and also helps in reuse of other antioxidants.

It only makes sense to adopt these changes in diet because not only is it nutritious in this context but also moves you towards a general goal of well being.
